The Vintage Pearl Gift Guide {& Giveaway}

Tis’ the season for Christmas dreaming and decorating, and of course, the fun of gift giving! Yay! I’ve got the dreaming and decorating part underway, and just this week I started thinking about the gift giving. One of my favorite places for online gift shopping is The Vintage Pearl. Erin has so many cute and personal gifts for everyone and every occasion. So today in the spirit of generosity and all things festive, I thought I would share a few of my favorite gift ideas (and Erin has a giveaway for a couple of lucky winners).

Are you looking for something for the men, women, teachers, kids, BFFs, brides, moms, dads or (just in case!) your favorite bloggers :-)? You will for sure find something fun and personal for everyone with a quick look around The Vintage Pearl.

I LOVE getting surprises and gifts in the mail. :-) So when Erin sent me the adorable customizable deer keepsake ornament, she became one of my favorite people. I LOVE it! We’ve collected many personalized ornaments over the years and they are always such fun memories of Christmases as a family.

She also sent me this sweet monogrammed laurel necklace, which I adore! Thanks, Erin! Isn’t it precious?

Now it’s time to enter to win the giveaway! Two lucky winners will receive their choice of an ornament and a $25 gift card! But here’s the deal, I need you to tell me who is at the top of your Christmas gift list this year and what special gift from The Vintage Pearl you think they would like. Two winners will be chosen Saturday night at 9PM PST.

My mom and mother-in-law are always at the top of my list! They always do so much for us throughout the year. It is hard to find special and meaningful things for them. Last year I got my mom a grandchild necklace from The Vintage Pearl (thanks to finding her link on your blog). This year I would choose one of the name charm bracelets for my “other mother!”

My wife is at the top of my list–always–but second this year is my 21 year-old daughter who is working with disadvantaged young people in Northern Ireland. I would love for her to enjoy the Vintage Map Bracelet to remind her of those who love her back home.

Personalized gifts always make a big impression. We tend to hold onto them, and feel very cared about, right? I always think a tree ornament is a terrific gift because the recipient thinks of you at least once a year:)

Hello from DC! The person that’s at the top of my Christmas list is my sister, Kalee. Since I moved to the east coast from Oregon, we’ve grown so much closer! I’m super excited to head home for Christmas, and I’d love to surprise her with the leather journal. I chose this because it’s unlike anything that she would buy for herself. Thanks!

My sister is at the top of my list. She would adore the deer necklace with aqua bead. Her husband is an avid hunter/sportsman and the bead would remind her of those trips to Texas to visit me! Nothing better than sisters!

My mom is at the top of my Christmas list this year. Last year at Christmas she was in a coma because of a traumatic brain injury but now, after months of hard work and rehab, she is walking and talking again. We are truly blessed to have her alive and well. The blessed mom necklace would be a perfect gift!

I love my Vintage Pearl necklace, they do beautiful work. This year our daughter is turning 16 (next month) and her and I are going to enjoy a special getaway, just the two of us. I want to give her something special on this small trip and I am looking forward to picking out a special piece of jewelry for her. Not too sure the exact piece yet, but something just right for her and this time in her life.

My daughter is at the top of my list. Each year I give her a special ornament on Christmas Eve. She loves elephants, so when I saw the sweet elephant ornament I knew without a doubt that had to be “the one” this year! Thank you to you and The Vintage Pearl for this giveaway!

I would get my mother something nice. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and is taking it very hard. Either the bracelet and put the grandkids name on it or the blessed mom necklace!I feel I am already blessed to still have her here!

Oh my goodness thanks for sharing love it all. I have a couple children that love to journal…the leather journal would be perfect and I think a deer ornament would be perfect for all the kids…and perfect at the cabin! Happy Day

What cute and unique gifts! The person at the top of my list would be my friend, Pam, who is like a sister to me. She is an amazing woman of God who has raised her own three children, adopted two with special needs, and is raising her autistic grandson. I would so love to bless her with one of these gifts.

I love the leather journal and I would get it for my Husband. He is amazing and we have written each other on and off over the years since he went to basic training. He came back into my life after my divorce and we started writing again. We married and continued to write letters (in an age of technology) 2 years ago. We wrote through a deployment and living apart for the first 18 months of our marriage. Now we still write love letters (it was even in my vows: I promise to always write you letters), however we share a journal we write back and forth in. We write love and we write frustration and we share life on paper and in person now. He is amazing and an amazing bonus Dad to my two girls. I am so loved.

My single sister is at the top of my Christmas list this year. She is in her forties and has never married but has longed to be a wife and mother. She always remembers everybodys birthday and gives gifts to all 17 nieces and nephews and siblings and in-laws. I think the vintage laurel pendant would be a nice gift for her.

My daughter Kaya is at the top of my list. She is a new wife and mommy and love hand stamped jewelry. She loved the necklace I gave her last year from the Vintage Pearl. I know she would love the deer ornament!

My kids are always at the top of my list. I mean aren’t they on every parents but this year I’m also looking for an extra special gift for my bestie who just had her first child. A personalized necklace with Marleys name on it would be perfect.

Top of my list is my dear husband … it will be just the two of use this Christmas morning while our children celebrate with their other parents (blended family here). It’s always challenging to find something he will treasure and appreciate, but I think a money clip would fit the bill!

At the very top of my list is my grandson Arthur, but since he’s only 2 this isn’t the place to shop for him. But for his mother, my beautiful daughter, I was struck by the treble clef charm necklace, because she and I sing in choir together, and she is taking piano lessons as an adult (after fighting them as a child so that I gave up after three years!). Thanks for pointing us to this lovely site in time for Christmas shopping.

My mom is at the top of my list this year, she has been there for me these last couple years when I’ve needed her most, judgmental free. I want to get something special for her to say thank you and to hold close to her heart. When skies are gray(with initials) necklace is the perfect choice to say I love you, and thank you and I personally adore it. She’ll probably tear up but that’s exactly what I’m going for! This is a great website thank you for sharing!

My daughters ,ages 13 & 12 are on the top of my list. Now that they are older it is so much harder to buy for them. I love the Vintage Locket at The Vintage Pearl. The ornaments are gorgeous! Love the deer head and especially, Santa’s List!

I would love to get the Vintage Earth Charm necklace for my newly married daughter. She has spent the last several years working in other countries to make a difference to those in need. She continues to do that now in the U.S. I think this necklace represents her “heart for the world”!

My husband is at the top of my list! He’s in seminary right now, so he is constantly reading a stack of books at any given time. He usually uses scraps of paper for bookmarks. I’d love to get him one of those leather bookmarks!!

My kids are at the top of my gift givong, my son has recently moved into his own house so an ornament would be good for him, and my daughter would love the beaded bracelet. Thanks for the chance to win

I saw so many things that are just precious…. no way I can decide this quickly which is my fave. All my children and grans are at the top of my list… and so many of the items would be perfect for them.

My mother is at the top of my list. She just moved back from Arizona, living out there for five years. While living there she broke her ankle in a very bad break and could have lost her lower leg. She is a native to Florida and I am so glad to have her back in our home state. The Home State Love Necklace would be perfect for her.

My sister is at the top of my list. It has been one thing after another medically for their family. Plus she would just love one of the ornaments that can list the names of everyone in their family! So beautiful!

I would love to get my sister in law a customized necklace with my nice and nephews names. Both of them were adopted and both my brother and sisiter in law have had many difficult years. I would also like to get a good girlfriend of mine one of the necklaces as well. She has been one of the most amazing Christian influences in my life and I value her advice and respect her a lot.

Oooooh how fun… well my 2 girls are at the top of my list this year!! They both are *new* avid readers & have now discovered the wonders of imagination & inspiration in getting lost in a good book… I would love to get each of them a personalized leather bookmark! ;)

Our 12 year old Golden Retreiver, Kellie-Anne, is at the top of the list this year. She has cancer, but is 9 months into chemotherapy with no side effects and feeling great. She recently tore the meniscus and Cruciate ligament in her left knee, plus dislocated her kneecap. She has a custom made brace and is going to physcial therpay twice a week. Helping her feel better is our Christmas gift to each other for my husband and I. Of course, Kellie-Anne and her twin sister, Honey-Rose, will still get their stockings filled on Christmas morning!

My daughter is always at the top of my list for every occasion. She such a loving, compassionate person to her family, friends and anyone who may need her. She loves her two sons so much that the golden rectangle name necklace would be the perfect gift for her this year, It would keep them close to her heart.

My daughter-in-laws are first on my list and I love the southern belle necklace for them. I also have a friend whose son was in an ATV accident and a long road ahead for her caring for him. I thought how great to give her the rustic cross HAVE FAITH necklace.

My sweet husband is at the top of my list… we just adopted our first baby boy, and getting him something personalized and meaningful to celebrate our first Christmas as a family would be so nice. Maybe a new ornament like the deer?

I immediately thought of my SIL, who I love as a sister, when I saw the world necklace. She and my brother and their family are missionaries and we miss them, but thankful for what they are doing for God’s kingdom.

Hello from PA, first I want to thank you for your blog and secretly I am in love with my home. My daughter is at the top of my list and the VINTAGE LAUREL necklace would look wonderful with her long hair. She loves vintage jewelry!

At the top of my list would have been my mom but she is in heaven. So my BFF, Shelley, is now at the top of my gift giving list. She would definitely like the Southern Belle Necklace. She was born in the South but just moved to Tennessee in February. I miss her! We still talk and text. I will be seeing her at Christmas. Would love to be able to give her the necklace at Christmas.

My sister who now lives far away from me. I would like to give her a leather and pearl bracelet maybe witch both of our initials on it so she can always have me close by and know that I am there for her.
